Assaults prompt increased security
By Nik Trendowski

Two bicycle robberies involving stabbings this week have the USC Department of Public Safety concerned enough to start a task force to address the crimes.
In the most recent incident, a student was approached from behind at the Century Apartments bicycle rack shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday. The student felt the suspect punch him twice in the back, then when the student turned around the suspect took the bicycle, said DPS Deputy Chief Robert Taylor.
The student, not realizing he had been stabbed, entered the building and collapsed on the
second floor to be found by a floormate, Taylor said. The student was taken to County-USC Hospital's trauma ward to repair internal hemorrhaging that resulted from one of two puncture wounds. He is recuperating at University Hospital.
On Monday night, another stabbing / bicycle robbery was reported at Cardinal Gardens.
"I'm concerned enough about it that I'm deploying a special task force," Taylor said. "I want to ensure that our students are protected against this kind of parasite."
Tonight, Sgt. Bill White and six other officers will be working in the area, from several surveil-
lance posts, to "keep an eye on the neighborhood" and confront individuals fitting the suspects' descriptions, Taylor said.
Taylor has also contacted the Los Angeles Police Department to discuss other strategies. In December, some suspects were arrested in connection with a series of bicycle robberies involving stabbings at that time. Taylor said he would like to find out if any of those suspects have been released.
"I don't think it's just chance," Taylor said.
The descriptions of the suspects in each case differ, Taylor said. In Monday's incident, the
suspect is described as a thin, five-foot-nine-inch black male, about 45 years old. In Tuesday's incident, the suspect is described as a 200-pound, five-foot-nine-inch black male, about 25 years old.
There is concern for students not only in terms of criminal activity, Taylor said, but for those who found and saw the student Tuesday night in Century Apartments. The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs is working on counseling students and Kristine Dillon, interim vice president for Student Affairs, is personally working with the students' parents, Taylor said.
Scholarships honor women

Exhibiting a strong love for learning and active leadership helped Alegre N. Ramos and Margaret A. Scully Granzeier to be named the recipients of the $2,500 Dean Joan M. Schaefer scholarships.
"Alegre and Margaret are two outstanding scholars who have proven their academic excellence and have demonstrated a continuous love for learning. I can think of no other individuals who represent what Dean Joan is all about," said Linda D. Maudlin, chair of the scholarship committee.
The awards, now in their third year, recognize two students, either graduate or undergraduate, in honor of Emerita Dean Schaefer, a devoted advocate and mentor of many students in the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
Dean Joan, as she is called affectionately by many students, formerly served as dean of women at the university for more than 37 years and now works at the university voluntarily.
Each year, a collection of devoted former students and friends of Dean Schaefer raise money for the scholarships in her honor.
"She's not only wonderful as a role model, but she's a mentor," Ramos said.
"It's a tremendous honor to be recognized by someone like Dean Joan," Scully Granzeier said. "1 guess I'm greatful not only a prestigious award but it will allow me to continue my research endeavors."
Scully Granzeier said her current research in volves researching whether there is empirical proof relating conflict to environmental problems.
"USC has helped shape my research interests and has given me a great deal of focus to pursue my focus," Scully Granzeier said. "My intellectual curiosity is encouraged by the wonderful faculty at USC."
Ramos, a junior, maintains a 3.93 grade point average and majors in political science and anthropology in an interdisciplinary program. She also serves as president of Trojan Life Cuddlers, a resident advisor, a tour guide and was formerly vice president of the USC Helenes.
"I hope my love for learning is as much as her (Dean Schaefer's) love for students," Ramos said.
Scully Granzeier, a graduate student from Indiana, maintains a 3.87 grade point average and serves as the program coordinator and advisor to the Environmental Studies Program. She received her B.A. with honors from Saint Mary's Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, and a M.A. in political science from University of Toronto.
In addition, Scully Granzeier expects her research paper on environmental security to be published in a book this summer. In June, she will present a paper on international migration and environmental refugees at the Law and Society Association conference in Toronto.
